Keep others in suspended terror: cultivate an air of unpredictability: humans are creatures of habit with an insatiable need to see familiarity in other people’s actions.

Use absence to increase respect and honor: Too much circulation makes the price go down: The more you are seen and heard from, the more common you appear. If you are already established in a group, temporary withdrawal from it will make you more talked about, even more admired. You must learn when to leave.… Read More

Crush your enemy totally: All great leaders since Moses have known that a feared enemy must be crushed completely. (Sometimes they have learned this the hard way.) If one ember is left alight, no matter how dimly it smolders, a fire will eventually break out. More is lost through stopping halfway than through total annihilation:… Read More

Well given it is the 4th of July weekend AND my birthday, not much academic activity or interest is present. It has been a good week academically speaking since I’ve had an epiphany and now am grasping the concept of contractual vesting. I’m going to keep it short since I want to get back to… Read More

Friday and Saturday brought fly fishing on local inter-coastal estuaries where Lazarus and I caught many spotted sea trout. Saturday we had a picnic, live southern rock, and fireworks on the beach which was really cool.… Read More

For some reason, it has been a tough academic road, with setbacks this week. My testing is off, my attention span is off, and my normal vigor is off. I will, however, bludgeon my way to victory!

Pose as a friend, work as a spy: knowing about your rival is critical. Use spies to gather valuable information that will keep you a step ahead. Better still: Play the spy yourself. In polite social encounters, learn to probe. Ask indirect questions to get people to reveal their weaknesses and intentions. There is no… Read More

When asking for help, appeal to people’s self-interest, never to their mercy or gratitude: if you need to turn to an ally for help, do not bother to remind him of your past assistance and good deeds. He will find a way to ignore you. Instead, uncover something in your request, or in your alliance… Read More
